d. G. Cullen. Sergeant, Co. G., SOD Ohio, st.
Mary's, o.. replying to Comrade Florey, Co. A.
Sth ILL.,, Eagle Point, Ore, says the ed Ohio
does not claim all the honor of capturing the
6-gun battery at Champion Hills, but he says
it helped do it, and the battery was turned
over to Co. + of that regiment, the members of
which manned it and served it during the
Vicksburg campaign.
Edwin HOwes, Co. X, Goth Ill., Newark, H.,
says that he always believed that the battery
at Champion Hills was captured by the Goth
and 12lth Ill. In any event, they helped to do
it, and no one regiment has o right to claim all
the honor.

Careless Prospectors.

Salt Lake Tribune John J. Stocking
lost 700 sheep in the canyon fires to
the northeast of this city. He had
1000 head up there when the flames
came shooting up the canyon. By
hard work he and his shepherds got
about $500 over the crest into a place
of safety, but the fire came up so rap
idly that 700 were overtaken and
burned. The heat was so great that
many of the poor animals swelled up
and burst. There was great destruc-
ton also of timber, very large area
being burned over. The fire is laid TO
careless prospectors.

A wicked reporter of the Reno
Journal, who no doubt was himself
the victim of misplaced confidence, +"
lays this to Reno printer:
A Reno typo who is kindly disposed
toward suffering humanity and is ever
ready to aid the distressed, met with
novel experience on Tuesday night
He was bruising along towards his
luxuriant apartments when he encoun-
tered young specimen of the Piute
tribe leaning against an awning post
shivering with the cold. A large phil
anthropic wave enveloped the kind
hearted representative of the "art pre-
servative," and with hasty glance up
and down the street in order to satisfy
himself that his noble act of generes-
ity would not be witnessed, he wob-
bled up to the side of the shaking fig
ure and in dulcet topes told the youth
full aboriginee to come with him to
his warm wigwam and slumber. The
figure ambled off after its noble bene-
factor, and was soon made comfortable
by glowing fire. When the chill
went off the figure discarded its
blanket and fine Indian boy showed
up. The typo gave one agonizing look
and exclaimed, by G.! it's buck !"
Another wave came over him and
something struck the most prominent
part of the bucks anatomy and sent
him through the door. Again the
number nine struck out, and the child
of the sagebrush forest went over the
fence followed by the blanket. He
was interviewed yesterday and said he
"didn't 60 much on printers. They
treat an Injun too we'll before they
lick him."

some Of CIeve,s Fine stock.

The Salt Lake Tribune of Nov. 27th
says: Hon. A. c. Cleveland of Spring
Valley, Nevada, is in from his ranch,
ON his way 10 Denver. with some thirty
young horses which have been care
fully bred under his own eyes. The
horses range from four to seven years
of are, and arc all one-half or three
fourths thoroughbred. The animals
are ut Grant Brothers stables, and
everyone fond of fine stock should call
and look at them during the two or
three days they are resting here.
They are in the rough just rs they were
caught up from the ranch and are
paunted from a hard journey, but it
is easy enough to see the material
which constitutes their substratum
and To imagine what they will he when
TRANSPORTED with comb, brush, blan-
ket and grain. They are a splendid
lot OF young horses.

Unnatural Palenla.

Once in while turn up to tie pub
lie gaze, men and women SO untrue TO
natures laws that they sink beneath
the brute creation in their conduct
toward their offspring. Unnatural
crimes, such as those of the fathers in
Los Angeles and Chicago who killed
their little boys to get rid of them,
occasionally break out, but to the
credit of humanity these offences are
very rare. A mother, especially, who
deserts her young children and leaves
them to the charities ofthe cold world,
is "menster of such hideous mein, !"
as should be loathed and Stunned as
enc would a plague. That such a one
las recently arrived in these parts We
are informed. Gods direst vengeance
will follow and surely overtake the
perpetrators of these unnatural crimes.

A Brutal Father.

George Westfall, aged 55 years, is
under arrest at Los Angeles for at
tempting to murder his little boy,
aged between three and four years.
The child's head appears to have been
knocked against the rocks. The skull
is fractured and the chances for the
child's life are very slim. Westfall
acknowledges the crime and says the
little fellow was a nuisance, and he
wanted to rid himself of him. The
brutal father was slipped out of the
City Prison and taken to the county
Jail to secure safety from the chances
of being mobbed.

The Lewis Trial.

The Elko Independent says; The
jury before whom the case of Lewis
indictment for murder-was tried,
was at noon to-day discharged; the
members of that body being unable to
agree upon verdict. The case was
ten days on trial being submitted at
noon yesterday.
1t is learned that from the very first,
the jury was about equally divided
between conviction and acquittal and
so remained to the last.

The first issue of the Broadaxe, in

next issue of the Early County News,
published also in Blakcly, contained
the following: Born to Mr.. and Mrs.
W. A Jordan, n bouncing baby boy"
". \. Jordan is editor of the Broad

that advertising doesn't pay, but it
does.

Ne Careful of safety-Nltro Powder.


Emil r. Hoffman, miner working
in the Hale g. Norcross at Virginia,
was blown to atoms Nov. 21st., by the
premature explosion of giant powder.
The cause of the accident is unexplain-
able; but miners and men who know
something about the character of pow
der now on the market speak strongly
in this manner:
"A bitter powder war has been
waged for some time past between San
Francisco manufacturers. The price
has fallen from $40 30 per hundred,
where the combination had raised it,
to $24 so by competition; and instead
of manufacturing powder with 20 per
cent. glycerine-No. lit is now mix
ed with chlOrate of potash or nitrate
OF ammonia in order to enable them
to keep up under the competition. No.
l powder, which contains 20 per cent.
glycerine, or No. 2, with 80 per cent,
has never been known to explode with
out cap or fuse. Men can handle it
during a railroad or wagon collision
in perfect safety. Neither cap nor
fuse had been put in the hole which
Hoffman was filling with powder. for
both cap and fuse were found at the
place designated by Conway; there
fore this powder exploded by the mere
tamping of it, if Hoffman was even
doing that"
All good and experienced miners
say that there is nothing gained by
showing, or tamping the powder snugly
to the bottom of the hole.-[Virginia

1t is not surprising that some of the inhabitants

Nearly $4,000 an acre is a very large price, and
If 1t be the case that more of the vestry-

are interested in the sale, the question of value
ought, as matter of principle, be decided
